MadBid

After hearing all the great hype about mad bid, i must have been mad to sighn up with my 50 pounds that run out very quick and not winning anything.
Then on top of that the plot thickens they only went and charged me another 30 pounds auto top up with out my consent charged to my bank.
And after all weekend with great anxiety and panick attacks thinking iv been robbed i decided to phone them and the polite lady told me i could claim something for free and yes they had the cheak to charge me 10 pound for postage and packaging.
So for the 90 pounds that i spent that made me ill i ended up with a phone when i wanted a smart TV.
And the phone i got was suppose to be rrp 150 pounds brand new YET on ebay iv seen them go FOR 40 POUNDS.
AND get this they have the cheek to tell me they are items that have been won on MADtosighnupBID.
THEY BELONG ON CHUCKLE BROTHERS OR WATCH DOG
I HOPE THIS HELPS ANY ONE VULNERABLE TO MODERN DAY CON ARTISTS

My product arrived as early as expected, I liked the service, very good logistics, recommend page 100%

Recently started using mad bid and it is fun, a brilliant alternative to the boring high street and online stores.

I'm usually always suspicious when something seems too good to be true, but i gave it still a shot because of their deal buy 1 Package get 3 Gratis! With 34.99 € I bought 290 MadBid Credits + Bonus of 870 = 1160 Credits. So i started strategically by bidding on Credit Auction for 1950 (Worth RRP 234.99€ and i Won it with just 300 Credits and the cost was 5,09€ + ridiculous shipping of 1,99€ for virtual goods... I didn't have much money left on my account, because i helped my Parents out. But nevertheless you have 48H left till the payment must be don, after you have won an item! So the next day i went to my Bank and filled my Bank Account. I wanted to pay the won item for 7,08€ but i couldn't! When i tried to pay for it something came up "This Auction has already been paid" there was still 24h left till the Won item expires if you don't pay!
Stay away from this clever bidding(Gamble) scam.

Update: I contacted MadBid via Telephone Service, and really to speak on their behalf. They fixed this problem, it was some sort of payment transaction problem etc. so i got the 1950 Credits for 7€. Just to clarify things, but still i'm not sure if they are using Bots/Scripts to manipulate the Auctions. Because sometimes I see some strange Usernames and they are everywhere mhmmm

Looking at this site they offer you loads of offers when i refused to put my credit card details in and now after looking at reviews no chance

I have seen many penny auction sites but there is some kind of hidden rules and regulations which came in your knowledge when you got stuck and there is no chance of getting out from there except you have to lose something in lieu of. But MADBID is totally transparent to their clients and their terms and conditions are straightforward, so no chance of making mistake by the customer.
I'm registered on this site for almost more than half a year. And their customer care is so cordial to their customers and time bound for providing the help.
Know the most important thing about any penny auction site are their products genuinity and the delivery of their products in promised time.

I really appreciate their fairness and transparency in the business.

I would definately reccomend this auction site to be joined. Just give them a chance to serve you and then result speaks itselfs. Within My circle there are more than 20 friends who are attached with this site and used to appreciate it always we have a get together.

MADBID really makes you MAD about it.

So, join it today and start having a lot of fun and go really MAAAAAAAAAD...

I paid my money played the credits £99 and got nothing it a rip off they should be stopped if i did this someone would call the ploice

Really wish I'd done some digging before I signed up to this site, what a con!
I didn't realise as it doesn't explain it during sign up that you are only purchasing the credits that allow you to bid, I thought I was buying credit that you then used to pay for bids you had won!
I bid on 100credits that I won for 1p and thought it would just take the cost off the credit I had just purchased but no, I was then sent to an invoice where they expect me to pay 50p with real money, 1p bid and 49p postage (yet another con) so after doing some research I realised that no I had not purchase credit to spend but credit to bid!
After I realised what I had done I emailed them straight away asking for a refund and to close my account, but of course no they don't do refunds and I was then informed I have to use my credits within 180 days or I loose them! (yet another con!)
So I can quite honestly say I feel a right tool for falling for this total con and will in future make sure I do a great deal of research before parting with any more money!

Madbid is a good website were you can get some expensive things for a low price.
My experience was good, I won a kitchenware for about $39USD(including the credits I need to expend). Madbid encourage its winners to share their experience in exchange of some free credits (that´s why you may see a lot of reviews saying than they have won).

Here are some points that Madbid could improve:
* They are not exactly a bidding place. Madbid is more like a place were you bet when all the people interested on a product will ran out of credits or they are not interested anymore. So, they can change this to make a more accurate description and avoid scam accusations.
* Include more products. They can include things like hardware tools, washers, microwave, blenders, ovens. Also they include iMac computers but they don't have PC's that really overtakes them like gamer laptops (ASUS, MSI, Alienware)
* They could have some regional/limited "auctions" to increase the possibility to win for some unlucky users or frequent users that have won that privilege.

Here are some points if you want to take a chance at Madbid:
* Don´t expect to win the first time. It is not impossible but it takes some time to understand the dynamic and way of work of Madbid.
* Expend your credits wisely, learn to say "Stop" if you already wasted a lot of credits and you just can´t won that auction, there will be more.
* You must have in mind that not all the money you expend buying credits will be lost. Madbid will give you some money back when you expend credits on an auction and didn't won. So, if you are going after a product you can try to won an auction and get it a lot cheaper or, lost some money (about 20% - 30%) trying to won an auction and then buy something in Madbid with the money that Madbid gives you back each time you don't win an auction.

Hope this helps.
